Location
I was working in my yard directly under the tree and heard the blue jay.Time
Probably early morning, or at least before 12 noon as the front of my house gets the late afternoon sun and it's too hot and humid to work during those hours.Lighting
All natural lighting.Equipment
This was taken from one of the first cameras I owned which is a Nikon Coolpix P100.Inspiration
I heard the blue jay and when I looked up, I had a direct view! The bird was magnificent, from his singing to his beautiful markings.Editing
I consider myself a work in progress where my photos are concerned, always trying to learn about shooting quality photos. I don't have Photoshop™. I have minimal altering features with Microsoft's™ photo gallery where I store my photos. Features like: red eye reduction, retouch, and straighten.In my camera bag
These days, I mostly use my Nikon D7000. I am starting to experiment using a lens hood and the end result it creates.Feedback
This photo was taken when I first started using my camera. I guess the best advice is, it helps to be at the right place at the right time.
